Central Queensland fire update

A strike team from Rockhampton joined crews at Gayndah this week to help fight a number of fires in the area.

QFRS Regional Manager Brian Smith says conditions are expected to worsen later in the week.

"They'll be working around that Mundubbera area, there's a number of fires in that area at the moment although they're fairly confident that they have been contained," he says.

"With the weather patterns that are coming through they're quite concerned by Friday, Saturday."

Conditions in central Queensland are similar to the rest of the state but he says the region has managed to avoid the strong winds that have been seen further south.

Meanwhile fires at Euleilah, Gogango and Mount Morgan are burning well within containment lines and will continue to be monitored.

"We just have a fire up near Calliope that we're just sending some extra resources to at the moment so we'll keep an eye on that one and look at what strategy we can put in place there to get some containment lines around that one as well," says Mr Smith.

The fire is burning just off the Dawson Highway but is not threatening property at this stage.

He says conditions in the Central Highlands and Coalfields will continue to be much the same as the last couple of weeks with a high to very high fire danger.

Mr Smith says all hazard reduction burns should have been completed by now.
